Native Advertising is so powerful that Holtz believes communicators and PR people must learn it NOW, if only to keep it out of the hands of the cowboys in marketing agencies and corporate marketing departments. And because organizational insiders can do native advertising better than outsiders.

Shel wants to ward off what he sees as the possibility of tight regulation of Native Advertising by the feds. He wants to forestall scandals in which advertising masquerades as real news—a very real fear.

Shel wants YOU, the corporate PR specialist or organizational communicator, in control of native advertising. In this interactive course, Holtz gives you the ideas you need to get your business, nonprofit, or government unit started as a formidable Native Advertiser:
